18. Sober in the world
Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri had a great time chatting.
The two of them were dressed in a more formal manner, obviously they dressed up for the date tonight. The handsome man and the beautiful woman are indeed eye-catching.
Chen Xing hid behind the menu without any guidance and observed it secretly.
"Sir, what do you want to order?" asked the waiter.
"Like them." Chen Xing's chin thrust towards Shinichi Kudo and lowered his voice.
"Okay, a couple's package, and..." The waiter wrote down carefully.
"Wait." When Chen Xing heard this, he quickly called her and pointed on the menu on a certain page, "Don't have a couple's set meal, please do this."
"Should you wait." The waiter walked away with a smile.
Chen Xing calmed down, picked up the juice and took a sip, and continued to eavesdrop on his ears.
"Hey, you are from Suzuki Consortium..." At this time, a somewhat uncertain voice appeared next to it.
He looked up and saw that he was a wealthy middle-aged man whom he didn't know.
Chen Xing didn't say anything, but a smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face, "It's really you, I thought I was wrong."
"Sorry, are you?" Chen Xing said politely.
"This is our president, Mr. Tatsuji." said a person following the middle-aged man.
"We've seen it before at the Suzuki Consortium's 60th anniversary dinner." Tatsuji said with a smile.
Chen Xing knew it. He thought it was because he was with Aunt Tomoko at that time. Someone asked about him at that time and then learned about his relationship with the Suzuki family.
Just like now, I don’t know the other person or what the other person is doing, but it doesn’t prevent the other person from coming and saying hello. When I have any interaction with the Suzuki Consortium in the future, I will have the opportunity to say something. This is probably the way and dealings in the business world.
"Is Mr. Chen Yi here to have a meal too?" Chen Xing asked.
"That's right, our company will have a cocktail party later, right here in the Italian restaurant." Chen Yi Taiji said enthusiastically: "Would Mr. Tufang come and have fun?"
"Thank you for your kindness, but I'm still waiting for someone." Chen Xing declined.
"That's the case, then I won't disturb you." Tatsuya Tatsuya said regretfully: "Next time I go to visit President Suzuki, I will have a meal together."
"Honor is so great." Chen Xing smiled politely.
Tatsuji nodded with a smile, and then led the people behind him away.
When turning around the corner, the smile on his face fades and restores his majesty.
"President, who was that young man just now?" Beside him, the company minister Dachangwu said curiously.
Although there are many chaebols in Tokyo, he has never heard of the person just now. But judging from Tatsuya Tatsuya's attitude and meaning in his words, the other party actually has a very good relationship with the Suzuki consortium?
"It's the sons and nephews of the Suzuki family." Tatsuya Tatsuya thought of the introduction of Mrs. Suzuki, and knew that this relationship was very close.
I met it tonight, and it would be great to gain a favor.
"You still need to do your best to do your best in the future." He sighed.
"Don't worry, president." Oba Gou said hurriedly.
Chen Yi Taizhi nodded and entered the elevator.
...
After seeing Shinichi Kudo and Ran talking about the past, Chenyuki took the time to go to the bathroom. When he came back, he happened to pass by the elevator. He glanced inadvertently and was stunned.
They were the two people who hugged and kissed each other, a tall man and a woman with exquisite makeup. Although the lights were a little dim, they could still see their dedication. When the lips and teeth were separated, they could still see the ambiguous brushing.
Chen Xing is quite novel.
But after just looking for a while, he planned to leave, but at this moment, the elevator opened silently, and the tall man still pressed the back of the woman's neck and kissed her, but took out a pistol with his other hand.
In Chen Xing's sight, the muzzle with the silencer suddenly disappeared. The man continued to kiss the woman, his eyes straight towards the elevator. When the elevator door was automatically closed, he hugged the female companion who knew nothing and left.
Killing is indeed an easy thing. Chen Xing withdrew his gaze, shook the remaining water droplets on his hand, and walked back.
After returning to the seat, I found that Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mori seemed to be looking at each other affectionately, one shy and hesitant, and the other was waiting gently.
It seems that the man is going to say something.
Chen Xing remembered Haibara Ai's instructions, and was afraid that this guy would be unable to help but tell the truth, so he got up to stop him.
Then, a scream was heard, coming from the elevator.
Chen Xing paused, picked up the knife and fork, and tried hard to eat the steak he ordered based on the principle of not wasting. He could see the red blood seeping out of the white plate after the knife.
Over there, Kudo Shinichi looked even hesitant, but said, "Actually, I want to say..."
"I heard that someone died in the elevator." Someone said.
"Did you call the police?"
"Xiaolan, what I really want to say is..." Kudo Shinichi tried hard to pretend not to care.
"I heard that I was using a pistol."
"It was our president who was shot through the head with a pistol." He said someone.
Kudo Shinichi looked embarrassed for a moment, "What I want to say is..."
"Okay." Ran Mori pursed his lips and smiled softly: "Actually, you are obviously worried about that murder, don't hold on."
"No." Kudo Shinichi said awkwardly.
"Hmph, I don't look like someone." Maori Ran held his chin and said in a slight manner: "I'm not hiding or escaping here. You'd better go quickly, detective."
Kudo Shinichi felt soft and hesitated before the case for the first time.
"Go quickly, while I haven't changed my mind yet." Ran Maori chuckled.
Kudo Shinichi exhaled softly, "Xiaolan, I'm sorry, then I'll be back soon."
"Yes." Ran Mouri nodded with a smile.
Looking at the hurried back, she thought to herself, idiot, I will wait for you all the time.
On the other hand, although Chen Xing was a little hungry, he still couldn't force himself to eat all the steak. Finally, he drank two glasses of juice and pressed it down. He stood up and went to find Shinichi Kudo.
...
The police then arrived.
After understanding the general situation, Officer Takagi reported to Officer Meguro: "The deceased is Tatsuya Tatsuya, 58 years old, and is said to be the president of an amusement instrument company. The three people who found the body were all employees of the company. Because they returned to the company to get a few forgotten things, they found the body."
"Things that have been forgotten?"
"Yes, because according to them, their company held a 20th anniversary establishment party at this restaurant tonight, and what they forgot was the bouquet of the party." Takagi Suk said: "By the way, this elevator is their company's special elevator. The deceased said he was feeling unwell and wanted to go back to the company and then go to rest."
"His clothes are so messy, the murderer's purpose should be money, right?" Officer Meguru speculated.
Immediately, he seemed to recall something and said to himself: "Has there been similar cases here before? I remember that I was still a rookie at that time, and a strange young man kept muttering..."
"Uh, police officer, I was still in elementary school at that time." Takagi Shuogi smiled.
"I disappoint you. In my opinion, the gangsters are not committing crimes for money at all." A voice came from the side.
Officer Meguchi subconsciously said to Takagi: "Yes, yes, that young man was like this at that time."
However, the two of them immediately looked in the voice, wanting to see which boy was ignorant.
"If the criminals threaten with a gun with a threat, they should bring their prey to a sparsely populated place. Because after killing people, they have to search for money. At this elevator that someone will take at no time, it can be said to be the worst choice.
Also, if he was for money, he wouldn't have to loosen the cuffs of the deceased's shirt. I'm right, Officer Meguro?"
Kudo Shinichi turned his head and said with a relaxed tone.
"Hey, Brother Kudo?" Officer Meguri said in surprise.
"Shh, don't tell me my identity!" Kudo Shinichi stepped forward and covered his mouth.
